So let me get this right an individual did nothing to you but you assume the worse because of his politics then say you went anyway and then say a bunch of stuff happen with no proof

This doesn't last the smell test to me.

I know when I go to competitive gaming events, I expect the highest level of maturity and professionalism.

This. I also expect everyone to cater to my beliefs

At the very least you probably expect people not to be rude to you

Based on the way they set this up Im inclined to believe they started in on the politics, not the people who wanted to just play a friggin card game. They deliberately went while knowing who the organizer was and what his political leanings were. They went looking for trouble.

Just to opine here, I am a huge proponent of LGBTQ rights but you don't go to a Pokemon card game tournament with the sole intention of blasting the host's political views. That's just asinine. You're inviting insults just by turding up a party that wasn't supposed to be political. Nobody wants to hear about politics when they just want to play a game. It's annoying.

Why are there trump supporters in England?

Well they got Donald Trump Jr over there right now who seems pretty low key popular

LOL

The only people who like Boris Johnson only like him in the same way that people going to the zoo like the monkeys. Although not all that different to a lot of Trump supporters I guess

Based on the original topic, it sounds like they decided to go despite having some trepidation about who was organizing it, and when they got there a bunch of people were rude and patronizing. I'm not sure that makes them fascists though

It sounds more like they were rude and got told off considering it's blatantly apparent they have a victim complex and were writing nasty reviews over politics.

That sounds like you're making up your own story tbqh

We've just found out the person organising it is a Trump supporter we've been avoiding since we found out the news. My partner is trans, and we can't be in the company of someone like that, because eventhough he doesn't know it he hates my partner

Well the local gaming shop with the trump supporter is full of shitty fascists and have been extremely rude to my partner and extremely patronising. They've done nothing to make the place safer and their customers are disgusting, threatening my parter with all sorts of things. And on top of that the review was deleted. If I could I would just bombard the place with shitty reviews to tank their reputation for protecting trump supporters. I'm just so angry, it's made her scared to go out and play Pokemon, let me fucking repeat, scared to play POKEMON because of all these skin head Nazis. Fuck Max XP gaming, fuck the people that go there and fuck Trump for giving them the confidence to ruin people's lives. Sorry for the post I've just never been this angry before and this seems like a good place to vent, because I found so many supportive people in my last post.

Totally not a victim complex

Sounds like they wrote the review or messaged the gaming shop to get him kicked before they chatted with the group in person to find out what kind of person he is (as in how he'd respond to personally knowing someone who is transgender). That's pretty passive aggressive, so of course they're not going to want to interact with the couple, if anything they'll double down on their views because of this.

I'm not sure what is going on between the first post and the second post. Can someone clarify it for me?

-They registered for a Pokemon event.
-Found out the person hosting the event is a Trump supporter.
-Claims the person hates the trans girlfriend, even though he has never said it? (because even though he doesn't know it he hates my partner)
-Called the venue to complain and try to get the host kicked out?
-And then got mad when they didn't get a warm welcome to the event?

I'm not sure I follow why they would complain about someone who has never done anything to them and then get upset when people get upset about the baseless complaining....

Strange how the usual people here believe the trans person and their partner are lying and clearly the ones at fault based off of, well, nothing but their own conjecture.

Weird

Both sides, though.

I think they were going with the "we could be wrong" approach, but went and found out they were right with their expectations.

I don't know either of these people. I've never spoken to this guy. The first comment just happened to appear on my newsfeed on facebook from this group. The group is Jimquisition Chungus Chillzone and the guy's name is Thomas Toal. To find the posts, join the group then search for his name and he will be listed as posts from your groups.
